Dominican Platform of Performance
Fourth International Festival of Action Art and Interventions

February 21 – 28, 2014

Daniel Embree works with many mediums, including painting, printmaking, and performance art. Fascinated by the beautiful, incidental shapes of the human body, he uses gestures and dramatic poses to convey the intent and emotion of his subjects.
He graduated with a BFA in studio art from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, in 2009 and a MFA in studio art from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in 2013. Recent themes in his work include exclusion and marginality, power dynamics, sexuality, masculinity, religious identity, and ritual.
